Ison (2010, p. 114) notes, after referring to a story by Patricia Shaw around an unconventional approach to a tender meeting, that Shaw and colleagues have "rather publicly rejected systems approaches" but Ison argues "what they reject is their own misunderstanding..".
"..I will argue that this assumption of controllability is the
distinguishing feature of what I will call mainstream thinking about
innovation. In my view, mainstream thinking is basically systems
thinking. The purpose of this book is to argue for a very different
understanding of innovation.... Innovation will be presented as the
emergent continuity and transformation of patterns of human interaction."
